Journey to Open "Thoroughly Modern Millie"

Journey Theater Arts Group opens THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE, JR., a high-spirited musical romp that has all of New York dancing the Charleston, next weekend. It’s the zany new 1920’s musical that has taken Broadway by storm!

Taking place in New York City in 1922, THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE tells the story of young Millie Dillmount, who has just moved to the city in search of a new life for herself. It’s a New York full of intrigue and jazz – a time when women were entering the workforce and the rules of love and social behavior were changing forever.

Based on the popular movie, the stage version of THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE includes a full score of new songs and bright dance numbers.

Performances take place at the Washburn Performing Arts Center, 1201 39th Street, Washougal, Wash. The Jr. tag means that the show has been modified to accommodate a large number of child performers.

Performance Dates & Times: Public Performances are 7 p.m., Friday, November 29, Saturday, November 30, Friday, December 6 and Saturday, December 7; 2 p.m., Sunday, December 1 and Sunday, December 8; and 3 p.m., Saturday, December 7. A School Day Performances is at 10 a.m., Thursday, December 5.
